Cool ending. One of the best Goosebumps books I have read.
This was a nostalgic re-read. Goosebumps was my absolute favorite as a kid. (& I’m trying to make my Goodreads goal at the last minute so I needed some short books.)This was fun, with a little twist at the end.But can we talk about the dad in this book? He’s an absolute psycho. A creepy old man…in a shack…in a swamp, chases his kids and he’s all like, “Oh it’s fine, the people in town say that guy is harmless. Continue hanging out in this very dangerous swamp-forest, children.”
A young boy discovers that a werewolf prowls Fever Swamp...or does it?This wasn't one of my favorites; I did like the description here, though. Plot twists were obvious but the setting and sense of suspense were excellent.Recommended for kids and if you're doing a Goosebumps tour :)
4 of 5! Full review to come
#14 "Who's afraid of the big, bad wolf?"They call it Fever Swamp because those who go in it end up becoming very sick and possibly dying. Grady and Emily's parents are scientist working on experiments with the local swamp deer. but right after they move in strange things start to happen. Including the appearance of a big dog and no one seems to know where it came from.
This is my first goosebumps book! I know many kids read these growing up but I was a fantasy & Science Fiction kid. So summer is a perfect time to read this books. I was drawn into Grady's story really quickly. His family has just moved to fever swamp to finish some important research with deer. The isolation is getting to Grady and his sister. Then a new friend named Will and a dog called Wolf enter Grady's life.The fun is cut short by creepy howls in the night and mysterious animal deaths. All...
The Werewolf of Fever Swamp by R. L. Stine is book 14 in the Original Goosebumps series. What is scary in this book is the setting of a Florida swamp called Fever Swamp. The swamp seems way more dangerous than the werewolf that slowly starts killing animals. This book helps if you've read other goosebumps books and are looking for the twist to enjoy it because I thought my first guess was just too easy, but that was it. The story thrives on misdirection and it doesn't work. It is also a story th...
Ahhh, the Goosebump days. I would borrow so many of these from the library they seriously considered extending my limit of books checked out at one time. R.L. Stine you were a reprieve from a harsh and dreary childhood in which my mind wandered far away from the troubles of the day. I stole books into my bed and read far into the night by the faintest of lights. I might have better eyesight were it not for you; however, I regret not one page or line.
I think R.L. Stine gets a bum rap as being a writer of relatively low skill, but at the height of his career he turned in numerous excellent performances, including many entries in the original Goosebumps series. Aside from a plot that keeps readers on their toes from the start, R.L. Stine's descriptive language in The Werewolf of Fever Swamp is impressively varied and quite beautiful at times; a lot of creative verve had to go into writing this story. Werewolves are an ancient, intercultural st...
It's a fun, short spooky story.There's a lot of buildup with some weird stuff going on, and then everything happens very quickly, and it ends. The chapters are very short, about two pages, and all those little cliffhangers kind of got silly. Still, it's a decent MG book.
This was interesting. Grady (12), Emily (16) and their two scientist parents move down to Florida so that Grady's dad's can do some experiments with 6 swamp deer he has. I looked up swamp deer on Wikipedia. They really do exist. But Stine claims they're from South America and Wiki says they're only found in India and are called Barasingha. They are cute. :) When Emily and Grady decide to explore the swamp a little (Grady in shorts and sandals - moron move right there) they discover a small, crud...
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?'The Werewolf of Fever Swamp' was the fourteenth (14th) book in the Goosebumps book series.The plot begins with the narrator of the story, Grady Tucker and his sixteen year-old sister, Emily Tucker with their scientists parents. They moved in a new house in Florida near Swamp Hermit where deers are hardly found. The reason why they moved in Florida is because their father, Dr. Tucker, studied deer in Vermont where he acquired six (6) "Swamp Deer" from South Ameri...
I remember why I loved Stine in my childhood <3
So I’m really not the target audience for this but read it for a prompt in a reading challenge and I really didn’t enjoy it. I did give the goosebump series a chance as a child but DNF and feel very much the same about it as an adult though did make it to the end of this one. Sort of like Scooby Doo without the fun of a canine companion.
I'm not having a good time with these Goosebumps books. In this one we have Grady, who moves to a swamp in Florida with his family as his parents are scientists conducting research on some weird deer they found in South America. The swamp is pretty creepy, and at night Grady starts to hear howling. Could it be a werewolf?Nothing happens for most of this book. Nothing. Then we get some howling at night and scratches at doors and a couple of mutilated animals. Just as it starts to have potential w...

This is one that I remember loving as a kid--both the book itself and the TV episodes based on it--and rereading it was a fun time. It's got some interesting twists, and the description of the torn-apart animals are kinda dark for a kid's book, ngl.
Me: 3.5 starsSon (age 10): 4 starsDaughter (age 5): 4 starsThis was a fun book that captured our attention each time we listened in the mornings on the way to school. This was my daughter's pick but we all enjoyed guessing what was going to happen, if there was actually a real werewolf or if it was all a ruse, and we were all surprised and satisfied by the twist at the end. Thumbs up!And the narration by Ramon de Ocampo was pretty good.
That was the worst Goosebumps I’ve ever read and I hated it! 🐺This was incredibly boring and I hated every single second of it. I had zero interest and it was obvious from the beginning who the werewolf was in Fever Swamp. Don't waste your time and skip over this book in the Goosebumps series.
